A big congratulations to you because you decide to quit smoking! And we understand that you might be worried about the possible weight gain effect associated with quitting smoking. A lot of people who decide to quit smoking experiences weight gain because they resort to eating or carving food as a replacement for cigarette smoking. Given the right diversion and healthy practices there are ways to prevent gaining weight when you quit smoking. It is simply being careful with the food you eat and taking the enough amount of exercise. Pay attention to your dietary intake by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables to help in detoxifying your body so you can recover from the effects of smoking, and to keep you full and prevent weight gain.

The major causes of weight gain include foods with high amounts of sugar and salt so you need to cut it down to prevent weight gain. Fill up your diet with healthy fats like avocados and olive oil and these can also help in reducing weight and keep you full for a longer period for you to avoid cravings. If you can’t help taking snacks, then purchase healthy snacks such as granola, fresh-popped popcorn, nuts, fruits, vegetables, or sugar-free candy. Take for example, eating celery or carrot sticks, as well as fruit or vegetable salad with healthy sauce. An effective weight control method after you quit smoking is eating five to six small meals a day instead of three large meals. Another method is using e-cig or vape with e-juice if you need a nicotine fix after eating rather than taking one or two sticks of cigarette a day. Never skip your early morning breakfast because it will only make you hungry all throughout the day which will allow you to eat more. Eating early breakfast helps you fill up your energy requirements throughout the day so you are alert and energized.

As much as you watch out for the food you eat, it is also important to check what you drink because if you want to avoid gaining weight after quitting smoking, it is also important to ensure that you are properly hydrated. When you feel hungry, drink water by taking at least eight glasses a day to keep you full and prevent cravings. Instead of smoking, chew gum because it is safer and it gives distraction to your mouth. In order to alleviate any discomfort from nicotine withdrawal symptoms, you can just take a nicotine chewing gum. Exercise also plays an important role in weight loss by walking, stretching or jogging twenty minutes a day.
